There's one sad truth in life I've found While journeying east and west - The only folks we really wound Are those we love the best. We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest, And deal full many a thoughtless blow To those who love us best.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.
Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859
Sticks and stones are hard on bones Aimed with angry art, Words can sting like anything But silence breaks the heart.
Phyllis McGinley, "Ballade of Lost Objects," 1954
Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.
Swedish Proverb
We mistakenly assume that if our partners love us they will react and behave in certain ways - the ways we react and behave when we love someone.
John Gray
